Rosewater review (PC)
Set in the same universe as Lamplight City, Rosewater transports players to a Western-themed adventure filled with mystery, colorful characters, and narrative-driven gameplay. The story follows Harley Leger, a journalist looking for her big break in the frontier town of Rosewater. What starts as a simple assignment quickly turns into a high-stakes treasure hunt, leading Harley and a band of unlikely allies across the vast expanse of Vespuccia. The game’s narrative is engaging, offering plenty of choice-driven dialogue and character interactions that shape relationships and influence the unfolding events. While the pacing remains steady for most of the experience, some stretches of travel between major story beats can feel a bit drawn out – but in the end this is an adventure that fans of the genre won’t want to miss.
